12U Fall Ranking

[WatchinBall]

Ok, so has anyone been watching any of the top 5 teams on Wilson's list? If so, any movement in the rankings based on recent tourney's?

[rbi]

Saw quite a few real young teams that need some time to develop in the 12's. I was impressed by the Sorcerers and Smash, both pretty fundamentally sound for a 12's team. Had solid pitching, hitting, defense, and HUGE, and very well prepared.

I miss that age group and it was fun to watch, very pure, although I did forget about the fence grabbers, YIKES!

Below are the results of the Triple Crown Tournament "Turkey Bash" that took place in Palmdale this weekend. The only teams on the list were the Cal Breeze and Central Cal Dirt Dogs. The Dirt Dogs lost to OC Batbusters in finals. The Cal Breeze lost in the semis. It looks like many teams are rapping up their Fall ball season. I don't see anymore tournaments that look like teams will be playing in. I may be wrong. Looking forward to see the new rankings as we get ready for Spring/Summer....

The Palmdale Tournament was a very well ran tournament with many quality teams attending. The CA. Breeze 12U 98 was a hitting machine all weekend long scoring 28 runs and allowing just 6 before they lost to a very good Batbusters team in the semi's. The CC Dirtdogs looked very good as well winning the top bracket and the opportunity to play the Batbusters in the Championship game. I to would like to see what wilson has to say as far as a end of the year ranking. It's difficult to rank when there is not much head to head and just friendlies.

i would hope that the best Nor-Cal teams are not quite done yet. ONE more biggy down in So-Cal the Chino Turkey Tournament, always has the "big dogs" in it. I know Norwoods Grapes play in it every year, great facilities, great competition, and a good way to gauge yourself for the Spring/Summer.

I just saw the website and what a Tourney rbi! As far as Northern Cal goes it looks like onoly the Grapettes are in it. It looks like some Nor Cal teams are going to the RR Gold Tourney the week before. Best of luck to them and the crappy fields that RR continues to use. The Chino Hills complex looks like the fields are all lit and very nicely maintained. The rest of the teams all look to be from Southern Cal. Looks like it is a 3 day tourney....These are the teams so far in the 12U field.......

Grapes Vasquez pulled out of Marsh tournament due to lack of pitching.

[Wilson Bats]

Looks as if the Grapettes Norwood pulled out of the Marsh Turkey Tourney in LA also. Maybe their pitcher couldn't attend?

[Grapettes 12USN]

Grapettes Norwood are in pool F team # 2. Good luck to everyone!

[Wilson Bats]

Well I have taken a system from the SCal Bracketoglist and have grouped the Nor Cal teams in the following groupings;

Group A - Any team within this group could be #1 at anytime during the Summer and they could all beat each other.

Group A
Grapettes-Norwood
Cen Cal Dirt Dogs
California Breeze 98
Sorcerers-Rojas
Tri-County Smash

Group B
Group B Any team within this group could beat the teams in Group A but lack the talent and coincidence during winter to be placed above.

Valley Stompers
San Jose Lady Sharks
Grapettes- Vasquez
Sun Devils
Salinas Storm

Group C Any team within this group could beat teams in Group B above but lacks the talent and coincidence to beat Group A.

Group C

Grapettes 99
Mizuno AA 99
California Breeze 99
Rocklin Hype
Roseville Heat
Foothill Gold
Runnin Rebels 99
CC Comets
EC Hotshots
SJ Sting
OBS Monarchs
Roseville Heat 99
USA Elite
East County Vipers
ASAA

Please remember this is for your enjoyment and I will listen to good sound suggestions. The order in the groupings means nothing. I have seen most of these teams play and agree with some of you that I don't know what I'm writing about . Hope this cause you to think!
